Shirley Stressenger Obituary

Dear Shirley,

How I miss you my happy little sister.I miss your smile, your laughter, your spirit of life and the way you always stepped up to the plate to meet life's challenges. Although dementia stole you from those of us who loved you, you left us the great gift of wonderful memories to help us carry on. Rest in peace my dear little sister.

Condolences to the Cudmore/ Stressenger family at this time of sorrow.

Ruth & Family, I am sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in the memories of the good times you shared. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this sorrowful time.

I was fortunate to work with Shirley for a few years here at Tufts School of Dental Medicine. It is probably 20 years now but I still remember her fondly. When we first met she had recently recovered from a heart attack and was all about eating well and exercising. I recall her sense of humor as well as her common sense. My deepest sympathies to the family she loved dearly.

Mom, I'm so happy that the end of your journey turned out mcuh better than you had feared. I hope that wherever you are you are able to see how many souls you've touched. I can only imagine how happy you are to be dome with hearing loss, diabetes and dementia. Thank you for the never ending love and support.

Grief is so hard, but my special memories of your perpetual smile and great sense of humor are helping me cope. It is so sad to say good-bye to a sister, who was also a great friend.
I love you - always and forever! Your baby sister, Ruthie
